Speeches by Onn.

“On that point, the fact that growth is in the Bill means that it is a clear obligation on the regulator. The expectation is that the regulator would then be obliged to consider the desirability of avoiding “adverse effects on the financial growth of…English football.” That seems perfectly plain in the Bill.”

“Would the shadow Minister consider the kick racism out of football campaign to be political activity that clubs and the regulator should not be involved in?”

“On the cost of decarbonisation and who bears it, I was quite surprised that in the evidence we received, Fair By Design said, “At present, the lowest domestic unit rates and standing charges are only available to owners of electric vehicles—not those on the lowest incomes.” There seems to be some perversity in the reta…”

“No, but if you are not in a position to have an electric vehicle and you are not in a position to have the smart meter, you are not going to access those tariffs for charging facilities, are you?”

“No, but if you are not in a position to have an electric vehicle and you are not in a position to have the smart meter, you are not going to access those tariffs for charging facilities, are you?”

“On the cost of decarbonisation and who bears it, I was quite surprised that in the evidence we received, Fair By Design said, “At present, the lowest domestic unit rates and standing charges are only available to owners of electric vehicles—not those on the lowest incomes.” There seems to be some perversity in the reta…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Jeremy. I want to address some of the points about the costs. I fear that as we discuss each amendment we run the risk of disappearing down quite a few rabbit holes and losing sight of the Bill’s principle and purpose. Everyone will have received the submission fro…”

“The hon. Gentleman is being very gracious in giving way again, for which I am incredibly grateful. Could he explain what questions members of the Select Committee are not permitted to ask candidates when they are making these decisions?”

“The hon. Gentleman appears to presuppose that such a declaration would result in a person being turned down for the post. In fact, there was a declaration and the Select Committee still decided that the candidate was a fit and proper person. As could happen in future, this person was found to be suitable regardless.”

“I do not think it is a case of saying, “Well, you did it, so we’ll do it too.” It was just highlighting the absolute hypocrisy coming from the Opposition Benches.”

“I wonder whether the shadow Minister could indicate in which section of “Erskine May” that information can be found. If that applies to this letter, it will apply to all letters to previous Governments as well.”

“Will the shadow Minister propose changes to the Cabinet Office’s governance code on public appointments, which is where this decision sits?”

“I was not disagreeing or agreeing. I was simply asking a question.”

“I think it is important to understand whether this is a general point of principle, as the hon. Member acknowledged in his comments about the previous Government’s decisions on the BBC, or something specific and unique to the Bill. He cannot have it both ways.”

“The shadow Minister might be surprised to hear that I understand perfectly well what he said, as I have understood on all the previous occasions on which I have intervened. I am sorry that he does not seem to recognise that I do. If the clubs had more money in the first place, because the structure of the pyramid and t…”

“Oh, sorry.”

“I thank the shadow Minister for that intervention.”

“T1. If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.”

“I am grateful for the number of Members who participated in the debate, and can only apologise to those who were not able to get in or whose time to speak was shortened. I thank the Minister for her comprehensive response. It is clear that we have some way to go before we get the sort of service that people across the …”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered access to NHS dentistry. I thank the Backbench Business Committee for granting time for this debate and the colleagues who supported that application. I am pleased that many Members want to speak and am aware of the limitations on time, so I will keep my remarks brief. Duri…”
